Legends is a fast-paced freeware FPS online multiplayer
game and is built upon the Torque Gaming Engine from GarageGames that's
used also by Tribes 2. The game is designed to take advantage of the beautiful
environments available from the Torque engine it is based on while still
offering the breakneck pacing and variety of styles available from such
classics as Quake and Tribes. Gameplay is not the strafe-strafe-jump-strafe-shoot-strafe-run-like-hell
style a lot of games espouse; the addition of a jetpack adds a third dimension
of mobility that makes skill, forethought, and restraint necessities to
winning. Team sizes are going to be ideal between 10 and 15 on each side,
and the network code will allow anyone with any bandwidth to play relatively
smoothly. Game type offerings will range from the classic Capture the
Flag to our own new type, affectionately called ?Knockout?. Plenty of
maps will be provided by us, but the beauty of this game is its customization
possibilities. Mission creation has never been easier, with a stable,
full-featured editor integrated into the game engine itself. Skins, models,
and effects can all be modified by the end-user with commonly available
tools. Developed by Tribes fans, it's currently in an open beta. |
